Benefits of technology

[0010]In this manner, the invention avoids expensive development and user training costs, and provides access to the full functionality of the original legacy application at mobile locations that have web access.

Problems solved by technology

With a split browser / desktop system, it is more difficult to locate and coordinate material from various sources.
However, few applications have been developed specifically for web-based delivery and those that have often provide reduced functionality as compared to their equivalent desktop applications.
Although it is possible to use existing applications in a portal by re-engineering them for web publication using HTML, scripting, Java™ and other proprietary means, this approach is time-consuming and expensive and may delay portal implementation.
Likewise, such implementations may experience reduced functionality and / or may not be feasible because the “download and run” model of application execution is too resource-intensive.

Embodiment Construction

[0018]Portals and other web-based implementations capable of displaying application-output data to remote users are, preferably, implemented using a server-based computing model. Server-based computing is analogous to enterprise portals, which improve user productivity through single-point access to information resources (e.g., application programs), in that server-based computing enhances the overall efficiency of the portal via single-point application administration.

[0019]In server-based computing models, application processing, administration, support and deployment are typically based on one or more central servers, which may be geographically distant from a user's display device. Remote users interact with particular applications hosted on these application servers by sending keystrokes, mouse movements, and other input / output actions to the application servers via data communication networks (e.g., LAN, MAN, WAN, Internet, Intranet, etc.) and receive screen / window updates, fi...

Abstract

The invention enables the display of application-output data within application-output windows embedded in a web browser window. The application-output windows can be dynamically moved, resized and otherwise manipulated within the web browser window even when the application program providing the source of the application-output data is non-web enabled (e.g., legacy applications). The invention receives window attribute information associated with the application-output windows via a first virtual channel and displays application-output data received via a second virtual channel within the application-output windows, which are formed and / or modified using the window attribute information.
